    Not really it hasn’t been in the spotlight until Oct7th. That’s when real change can happen.

    Not knowing about it/not caring is not an excuse. 1978 Oscars

    Two people stomping at you, one pulls out a knife and says ‘lets get this vermin and his family too’. There is a clear difference.

    That change in the analogy does not work because they were already going after all Palestinians, my dude. So who is the family is this analogy?

    Put it this way. (…) Which is worse?

    Clearly you and I just disagree on a fundamental level. I don’t care what noises someone makes with their mouth while committing heinous acts, and I do not see a moral difference between committing a genocide and arming the people that you know are committing a genocide. Would you also make excuses for the people who knowingly worked with Nazis and made weapons for them?

    EDIT: Initially linked the wrong video, then messed up fixing it. It’s fixed now.

      I was well aware of it. Talking about the global spotlight. MSM coverage. That is when real change is possible. It’s not an excuse it’s reality.

      That change in the analogy does not work because they were already going after all Palestinians, my dude. So who is the family is this analogy?

      Well, they weren’t. They ramped up settlements in the west bank, using the tricks they learned in Gaza, and now are going to ethnically clense the entire population of gaza. The analogy holds.

      Well there is a difference, of course. Not everything is binary, there is always nuance. I’d tell you to vote for the nazi’ if they were running against a worse oponent, yes. Just like I’d suggest voting for Trump if he was running against Hitler.
